LOOKING FOR RIVERSIDE PARK SPEEDWAY PHOTOS
Historic photos will be posted on the SpeedwayEXPO Web site
promoting
"Riverside Rides Again"-- the 10-year reunion of the legendary
track!
Organizers of SpeedwayEXPO 2009 are asking for vintage photographs
of Riverside Park Speedway to help celebrate the 10-year reunion of
the popular track. Photos will be posted on Speedwayexpo.com and
each submitter will be entered in a drawing to win four tickets to
SpeedwayEXPO.
After 50 years of competition, the final race at the popular
Riverside Park Speedway in Agawam, Massachusetts, took place in
1999. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the closing of the
park, Riverside Rides Again, the Riverside Park Speedway Reunion
sponsored by Budweiser, will take place at SpeedwayEXPO 2009,
February 27-March 1. Riverside Rides Again will feature fascinating
displays dedicated to the proud history of Riverside, complete with
race cars from every era, photos, videos, memorabilia and many of
the people who raced there. There will be a host of Riverside events
throughout EXPO, including autograph sessions.
Photos for the Web site and the drawing should be emailed to Dick
Berggren at (editorial@speedwayillustrated.com).
Most photo services such as CVS Photo Centers (http://cvs.pnimedia.com/home.aspx)
can inexpensively convert prints to digital files. (Jpeg or tiff
formats are acceptable.) Along with the photo file, include your
name, address, a daytime phone number, and a brief description of
what and who are in the photo.
Presented by Speedway Illustrated magazine and sponsored by Sunoco,
SpeedwayEXPO is the largest event for drivers, teams, tracks, and
racing vendors in the Northeast. SpeedwayEXPO will kick off the 2009
Northeast racing season with more than 200 new race cars and old
favorites, and hundreds of exhibits for drivers, crews, and fans
from a dozen states and Canada. Thousands of short track and speed
enthusiasts pack more than 130,000 square feet of exhibition space
to take part in seminars and demonstrations; see retailers of racing
equipment, gear, and memorabilia; meet racing celebrities-today's
and yesterday's.
